Xie felt something being pushed into her palm by Xu Xi, and she quickly grabbed it and said, "It's okay. You're fine. I'm relieved."

Xu Xi let go of Xie, took a bundle from Qing Feng's hand, and then pulled Xu Xue and turned around and entered the academy.

Mrs. Xie exchanged pleasantries with Nanny Ruan and sent them to the carriage. Then the family of three separated. Xu Chongwen went to school, while Mrs. Xie and Xu Chongwen went to the house in the city.

It wasn't until she reached a quiet place that Ms. Xie handed the note in her hand to Xu Yongyi: "Look, Sister Xi gave it to me quietly."

Xu Yongyi felt nervous and quickly opened the note and saw it said: "Meet us at the gate of the academy after a meal."

Only then did he feel relieved and said with a smile, "This kid."

Xie was illiterate and asked anxiously: "What's written on it? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried."

Xu Yongyi read the note again and asked: "What is she going to do?"

"Didn't you listen to what she said? They had to be picked up by their family before the academy let them leave the academy. She probably wanted to talk to us, so she asked us to pick them up. Just in time, let's take this time to clean the house.

Clean and move in tomorrow."

"Let's go."

…

Today, the Women's College does not only open the corner door like that day, but the main entrance. The side door is wide open, and there are women guarding all the doors. At this time, a group of people are entering through the main entrance.

Seeing this, Xu Xue was about to follow her in, but Xu Xi grabbed her and pulled her towards the side door: "This way."

Xu Xue was puzzled: "Why? Don't they also go through the main entrance?"

"Didn't you see that the lady who just entered was the lady and her servants? We are students, and we have to go through the side door." Xu Xi said.

Details determine success or failure. They haven't signed up yet, but they can't be dismissed because of this. Even if they are not expelled, a reprimand is indispensable. At that time, not only themselves, but also the Xu family and Suiping who are outside the door.

The face of the Hou Mansion is not good-looking.

Xu Xue broke out in a cold sweat.

"I, no matter what I do in the future, I will think twice before I act. If it weren't for you, sister, today, I would have made a big mistake." She murmured.

Xu Xi nodded happily: "It's good if you understand this."

While talking, the two of them showed their identity cards to the gatekeeper, entered the academy from the side door, and saw two tables in front of the screen wall, with two women and their maids sitting behind the tables.

These two people were the ones who registered their names at the door on the day of the exam.

The two hurried over and handed over their identity tags.

"My surname is Fu, and I will be in charge of your chores from now on." The woman in her thirties smiled gently at them, introduced herself, then pointed to the woman in her twenties next to her and said, "Her surname is Chen, and I am

My deputy. If I’m not here from now on, I’ll do the same to her.”

Master Chen registered their names and asked, "Do you live at home or in the academy?"

Xu Xi said nothing and looked at Xu Xue.

Xu Xue pursed her lips and whispered to Xu Xi: "Sister, I want to live at home."

This answer was naturally expected by Xu Xi. She turned to Master Chen and asked: "My elders are worried and asked me to go home to live. But my home is a bit far away from here. Can I get a bed in the academy? Accommodation

I pay the same fees, but when I usually live at home, if the weather is bad, or if something happens in the academy and it’s too late to go home, I’ll stay in the academy.”

The academy has been open for so many years, and situations like Xu Xi's are very common.

Master Chen said: "Okay."

Xu Xi was very happy and thanked her profusely.

Xu Xue was very hesitant after hearing this. She wanted to get a bed like Xu Xi so that she could stay with Xu Xi when he stayed in the academy. But thinking about the money she would have to pay for sleeping in, she gave up the idea.

The bed fee was one tael of silver for half a year; she couldn't get her own bedding, so she had to buy the same bedding in the academy, which cost six taels of silver. She couldn't afford to waste such a lot of money just to stay for one night occasionally.

Everything was written on this girl's face. Xu Xi could tell at a glance what she was struggling with. But she knew that the Xu family didn't want to use her money. Xu Xue didn't say anything, and she didn't ask. She took out the money and handed over her own money. After paying the fee, he said to Master Xu: "I'll pay it together with her husband."

"No, no, no." Xu Xue quickly took out the money, "My mother gave me the money."

"Okay." Xu Xi simply took her two taels of silver and placed it in front of Master Chen.

After registering, Mr. Chen said: "Today is just registration and placement, there are no other arrangements. Those who sleep in will go in and choose rooms and beds. Those who sleep in outside can go back. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the academy on time for classes. The location of the class is where you will take the exam. That teaching house."

"Thank you for the tip, Master." Xu Xi thanked him and then asked, "I would like to ask again. If you live in the academy, can you go out after school?"

"You are not allowed to come in and out at will. You need to have a valid reason, have a family member come to pick you up, and come to me to ask for leave." Master Chen said seriously, "A woman's reputation is very important. If something happens to her while she is away from school, we will also It’s not easy to explain to your elders.”

"Student, I understand. Thank you, Master." Xu Xi smiled and saluted her, and said to Xu Xue, "Please accompany me in to choose a bed.

Xu Xue also wanted to see what the dormitory was like, so she naturally nodded and said yes.

At this time, a seventeen- or eight-year-old maid came out from behind Master Chen and said, "You two girls, I will take you to the dormitory."

"Thank you sister."

Xu Xi silently followed her into the screen wall, then stepped forward and approached her: "What do you call your sister?"

The maid said: "My name is Shi Mo."

"Is Sister Shi Mo helping to take care of the academy now?"

Shi Mo smiled slightly, his smile was reserved and calm: "That's right."

"Then my sister must be a talented woman. Otherwise, why didn't Mrs. Chen ask someone else to take care of the academy? I just entered the academy and I don't know what to study here. Can you tell me about it? I would have known better earlier. It’s better to prepare early.”

So Xu Xue listened to Xu Xi chatting with Shi Mo along the way. By the time the three of them reached the dormitory, Xu Xi and Shi Mo were almost like sisters.

When the women's academy was originally built, the queen funded it herself and raised funds from the royal family and noble ladies. It was a non-profit institution. The tuition fee collected was basically the same as the academy's expenses. If there was a slight surplus, the remaining money was donated to the charity. If there is a slight debt, the money owed will be funded by the royal family and noble ladies.

Therefore, even if it is a county-level girls' college, the conditions inside are very good. The dormitory is not far from the room where they took the exam last time. There are four large courtyards in total, one for each grade.
